Why would anybody be a proctologist?

October 28, 2007

I remember as a little boy, grown-ups were always asking:
"What do you want to be when you grow up, little boy?"

Never once did I say.
Proctologist.
Urologist.
Or gynecologist.

I don't know of any little boy whose career goal is looking up people's pookies.

Now, I know some of you guys out there, have thought that the gynecologist gig might not be such a bad deal.
I agree, it does sound a lot better than pookies and peters.
But as a young man, I once sold women's shoes.
And for every hot chick in a short skirt who sat down in front of me, there were five old hags with smelly feet and nasty bunions.

You get my drift?

So I have determined why it is that guys become proctologists, urologists and gynecologists.
They made D's -- and maybe even F's -- in medical school.

I sure can't think of anything else.
OK, the money is good, but the job stinks.
Literally.

Didn't a noted proctologist from Wichita Falls write a book about 30 years ago called "Bottoms Up" that was about the interesting cases he'd seen over his lifetime? I believe the Dr. was George Cox...
